[Patch v4 04/18] KVM: x86/mmu: Shrink shadow page caches via MMU shrinker

From: Vipin Sharma
Date: Mon Mar 06 2023 - 17:41:54 EST


Shrink shadow page caches via MMU shrinker based on
kvm_total_unused_cached_pages. Traverse each vCPU of all of the VMs,
empty the caches and exit the shrinker when sufficient number of pages
have been freed. Also, move processed VMs to the end of vm_list so that
next time other VMs are tortured first.
